The Oilers have me believing that they are the ones on a mission this season:
When they faught it out and eliminated my Wings.....I was still not believing:
Then they came back on the Sharks being down 0-2 in the series:
Now they are rolling over the Ducks, who rolled over the Avs:

They are playing very physical:
They are keeping a level head even when being out-shot and down on the board or even in the series:
Roli is playing great at goal:
They are putting alot of traffic in front of the net:
They are playing great defense:

I agree and have been rooting for the Edmonton Oilers since they upset the Detroit Red Wings. The better the Oilers do (perhaps winning The Stanley Cup) the better the Red Wings look after being beaten by them. I'm pretty sure the Stanely Cup Finals will be between the Edmonton Oilers and Buffalo Sabres.

Agreed! Not only that, but it will make getting revenge on them next year that much sweeter! (If we play them in the regular season next year? I still cannot believe that Toronto was not on our schedule this year)

I just moved to NC, so I am rooting fot the Canes. They seem to be a real resiliant team. They are a legitimate team, (unlike when they played the wings for the cup). They are using 2 goalies, switching them back and forth when one doesn't do to well. Normally that doesn't work, but it has for them so far. The rookie is getting the nod tonight and hopefully will get the job done.

If they knock off Buffalo tonight in the do or die game 7, then I wish you luck! Beware Buffalo has seemed to have a get out of jail free card hidden in a pad some where.

looks like the Canes are going to take it. Baring some catastraphic collapse. Go CANES

It must be appropriate. The Canes are playing tonight and hurricane Alberto is soaking Raleigh as I write this.

I would'nt count them out just yet! They were down 0-2 and cameback before to win 4 straight; but Good Luck! I would'nt mind seeing Carolina hoist the Cup for their first time! My son is rooting for them (Canes). He's still pissed about the Oilers knocking our Red Wings out.

They should've named this hurricane "Stanley" due to the timing, etc. (smiles)

On the otherside of things Chelios just signed a 1 Year contract to comeback for another season!

That guy never ages, does he? As long as he's productive I have no problem with that. I'd like to see the captain come back also.

(smiles) I told you not to count them (Oilers) out just yet: Now a game 6 in EDM is coming: If EDM wins GM 6......then you know that GM 7 is anyones: Carolina let Buffalo hang in there and it almost bit them: If they do the same with Edmonton....well......the Oilers have been finding a way to Win games and Series that they should be out of:
Reguardless of who wins, this has been a pretty good show of Playoff Hockey this year! Quite a few OT's and Quite a few GM 7's!

Chelios is not hitting like he used to; but honestly......I like the guy and am happy that he's coming back for another year!

Yzerman will be back! I'm pretty sure that is a done deal....I think that its two more years? I remember reading something somewhere about him wanting to help Zetterberg grow to perhaps take over Captain-ship when he steps down:

The Canes had a chance and didn't put them away. You're right, i hope this doesn't come back and bite them. The Canes won one in Edmonton already so they can do it again.

The canes are hurting (Aaron Ward, whatever he hits, he destroys) and Doug Weight. I hope they are better come game 6.

I was hopeing that they would win it at home. Oh well. Looking forward to the next game.

The Oilers have been doing this they're whole playoff run: I don't know how to explain it other than, they seem to hang in there, then jump out of no where and take it: To me it actually seems like a sign of great coaching! It may take them a game or two to adjust the game plan, but they seem to be making the needed adjustments!

No matter who wins GM 7, it has been a great show! Good Luck Monday Eve!
